Recording session 2/21/09

We were back at it on Saturday 2/21. Since we had a show cancellation, we decided to do studio work instead. This was mostly Lou's recording date, as he was adding bass tracks to existing guitar tracks that Joe and I had previously laid down. With Coop behind the board, Joe providing moral support ( as well as sneaking peeks as to how to engineer the board) and myself, Lou did a masterful job of learning on the fly...playing songs he had only done once or twice and recording bass tracks, plus recording a solo on twelve string acoustic on "Pretty Baby". I added an accordian track (not a misprint) to Lou's song tentatively titled "How It Might Have Been" , which will be the closing number on the CD. We finished a five hour session with a photo shoot (photos were also taken throughout the session) of Lou and myself posing with the album cover that our friend had created almost 40 years ago and which we had promised to fill way back then...better late than never. All in all it was a good session . We'll be back in the studio Thursday evening to move ahead with the last of the songs that we need to record to fill out the CD. We're moving at a nice pace, and are still on track for a late summer release...keep your fingers crossed. Lib
